even have an intra club ready4rugby touch tournament going with like
150-2006 people turning up, pretty neat.Fixed that for you, just in case Boris’s Polish au pair is reading.
All compliant fella! No other clubs doing it and they're all jealous. I think when this comp is finished they're going to look to invite a couple of other local clubs to join in.

@R-L in my part of the world, everything seems pretty much normal (aside from being able to go watch rugby) it is all a bit strange considering what we see on the news on a daily basis.
I know my sis-in-law was happy to send her kids back to school over there, after what, 5 months?? Crazy!!
Hope all is well with you and things are working out

I have played against them in the dim and distant past. Sadly my old club in the SE no longer plays any rugby.

You may well have played me or more likely my brother...
What is your old club?

Doubtful, it was a long time ago. I used to play for Orpington which was very much the "second" club in Orpington after Westcombe Park but haven't played for them for many years now. The playing side of things has petered out into just the odd vets game now. Not sure why as I'm out of touch with things these days.

@Catogrande well my bro would've started there over 20 years ago, but I've never heard of Orpington rugby club. Whereabouts were they based?

Orpington? 😁
The ground was on the Hobblingwell Wood rec in St Paul’s Cray. It’s really just a social club now and used by the scuzzy Cray mob ever since their actions got their pubs closed down. The club was formed in 1969 I think and improved year on year for some time, regularly putting out three senior sides and sometimes four. It all started going downhill about 12 years or so ago. Was always a good social club.

@R-L The drama for me, and it is real, centres on whether a planned visit from some friends to have lunch on a floating restaurant in the estuary will now go ahead. We are 6 in number, so fingers crossed Boris doesn’t clamp down any further now that his kid’s christening party has been done and dusted.

@JC still fed up of covidtimes here but who isn't ay?! Birmingham and Solihull seems to be no different, I suspect people are still having people around despite the local rules on no household visitors. It's all pointless anyway I fully expect the whole country will be in some sort of lockdown again, rumours seem to be October half term but that seems like it's too far away, I fear the deaths will soon sky rocket.
Well in my news... My little girl started primary school she absolutely loves it, running the place already. Made me very emosh!! Happy she's happy though. Its amazing in two weeks how much she seems to have grown up!
Health wise, I've got an ENT referral for a boney growth in my throat.... Yeah yeah can imagine the jokes! GP really doesn't think its anything scary but needs checking explains the tonsil flare ups I'd been having throughout the year and it's just a bit of an inconvenience really! I'll be grand funnily not worried about that at all.
Still got man issues! Hit and miss.
I feel like I'm waiting for life to begin again.... Obviously I'm happy we are all relatively healthy and safe, but you know it's all a bit boring...
Anyway, has anyone on the fern actually had covid yet???

@Catogrande Orpington is also a breed of chicken, we have a few of them and they are fat and poor at their core role of producing eggs

This is exactly what happened to me when I moved to Orpington.

Orpington was in the news the other day about an attempted kidnapping....

i can only imagine. We’ve got it pretty easy here, no real effects at all day-to-day, but it still feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop. What’s going on in the UK seems like slow torture.
Good luck with the throat. The scariest part is probably going into a hospital during a plague!

Exactly! But can't forget I'm fortunate to be healthy during all this, shouldn't really moan
